History

Carla Zampatti first started making women feel beautiful in 1965. When Carla first arrived in Australia at the age of 8 from Italy, she noticed a gap in the Australian market, and her passion for designing led her to share her vision. Her first boutique opened in Sydney's Surry Hills in 1972. In 1980 she was awarded the inaugural Australian Business Woman of the Year. She was later approached by Ford to design the interior of the new Ford Laser, which was launched in 1985 in Sydney. At the end of the century it became evident the Carla Zampatti brand would be one of the few surviving and thriving Australian fashion houses post-recession. The official website states Carla Zampatti has crafted timeless, effortless and essential womenswear for more than 55 years, and that she has designed a car with Ford, the uniform for Australia Post, and celebrated 50 years of fashion at the iconic Opera House.
